Sam Thompson Discusses Upcoming Soccer Aid Encounter with Ex's New Boyfriend Louis Tomlinson

Sam Thompson has addressed the potentially awkward situation of playing alongside his ex-girlfriend Zara McDermott's new boyfriend, Louis Tomlinson, at the upcoming Soccer Aid charity football match for UNICEF.

Thompson, who will be representing England alongside the One Direction star in June, has been remarkably candid about his feelings on the situation. When asked about the potential encounter, Thompson stated he feels "fine" about meeting Tomlinson at the event, though he did make what some perceive as a subtle dig regarding their relationship.

The charity match has garnered additional public interest due to this unusual connection between the participants. Both men will be playing for the same team, creating what could be an uncomfortable dynamic given their personal connection through McDermott.

Soccer Aid, which raises funds for UNICEF, will see the two celebrities put any potential awkwardness aside for a good cause as they take to the pitch representing England.
